they may rate it better, but they go on to list all sorts of thingswrong with it. that is a contradiction.

they mention that the fingerprint sensor is awkwardly placed, making ita pain in the ass to use, that bixby is dead on arrival and that the s8lacks a dual-lens camera with portrait mode, but yet the phone somehowstill ranks better. they also neglect to mention that the iris scanneris trivially spoofed. it makes no sense.

when they reviewed the macbooks last year, they used the most batteryhogging browser available and configured the mac in ways no normal userwould ever configure it, giving results that were wildly inconsistentand not at all realistic. instead of trying to figure out what they didwrong, they just blamed apple, only to retract it a few weeks later.

consumer reports rarely, if ever, understands what it is they'rereviewing, and it's not just apple. their camera reviews are laughablybad.
